About how many hanging file folders will this safe hold? It seems like there is only a small space to hang files?

It pretty much depends how fat the files are. The hanging bar is 12" long although the total inside width is 13", so there is a little more space than just the 12". There are two positions for the bar so that it can take letter-size or legal-size file folders.

There is plenty of space for hanging file folders. We organized our papers this weekend and probably have at least 30 or 40 hanging files, and some of our files are packed full of papers. The safe is larger than it looks.

Hanging file folders will fit, but the metal hooks will rest on the edges of the box making it difficult for the lid to fit. I use these boxes to store regular file folders, which fit perfectly.

Yes, it is built for hanging files. I love mine. It has helped me keep a little bit more organized.

No, the bins are fabric so I don't think they would be strong enough for hanging file folders.

The last reviewer said it all. I use it in the upright position and, depending on the thickness of your folders, you can store 3-4 or even more if they are thin with very little inside. As the other poster said, the front slot is shorter than others and you can store postage, business cards, small daily calendar, internet address organizer, etc.

If you want to use legal size folders you would have to design some sort of cradle for hanging folders, because there is no support for them on the front or the back of the drawer. Size-wise legal folders can be accommodated, but I'm not sure I'd want to buy something that doesn't quite work.

One drawer, bottom, would hold only regular files. It will hold hanging files. The file is so deep, you would not get away with just file folders. You would need to have the hanging folder to put the file folder into. When you are sitting in the chair, the files would face sideways, towards you, vs. file drawers that are facing front to the back. Hope this helps.

Yes, we use hanging file folders in our Sentry Safe Fire-Safe File. There is one lock but it locks both drawers

depends how full... but I have 20 and it is not even half full yet... ( and some are rather bulky)...I would guess 50? 27 inches of file space...

No. The files can only hang side to side. Additionally the drawers are deep allowing you to configure it for letter or legal files.

I also have wide folders. I use one drawer of the cabinet to hang my files so the tabs can be viewed from the side. The folders are not parallel with the front drawer but are then perpendicular it works wel. Good luck

Not really, you would need to remove shelf and add something for files to hang

The slots that hold the hanging File holders aren't removable but file folders are - hope your question is answered.

Not really, You can hang the files, but hanging file tabs are too tall to shut the drawer...very disappointing piece of furniture :(

No, it's a channel like on the sides/fron&back; that the hanging files sit in. You can easily use it without hanging files.

The depth from front to back is roughly 8.5". I have 8 stuffed hanging folders, and 3 pocket pouches in the back that you could probably fit 6 more hanging files. Depends on how full you file folders are.

The drawers are designed to be the right size for hanging files, so there's no extra room at the bottom. I use letter size hanging files, so there is about four inches of space to the side of the folders if you wanted to put something there.
